This piece is shocking, such great quality.  This is an original early slant 4* size, untouched and plays beautifully.  What can I say?  it is just great, I was totally surprised.  I played this with a Lavoz Medium and it just blasts, has a huge complex sound and is a joy to play.  This is a great piece any way you look at it, does not need super hard reed, just a wonderful sound and very easy to play!  Wow, all I can say!
